Incidentally I have the last book cover — scanned that image. I like it quite a bit.

In the original painting, you can see a sign in the shape of a key. Which is weird considering the key image on the last cover (which is a better book cover IMO).
Have you ever looked at the blog Journey Around My Skull? He features a lot of book illustration/design and poster art you would probably like.
